Calculation of the scalar diffraction field from curved surfaces by decomposing the three-dimensional field into a sum of Gaussian beams.
Erdem Sahin,Levent Onural +1 more
TL;DR: A local Gaussian beam decomposition method for calculating the scalar diffraction field due to a two-dimensional field specified on a curved surface and ends up with sparse system matrices that provides important advantages in terms of computational complexity and memory allocation while solving the system of linear equations.

TL;DR: A local signal decomposition method for the analysis of three-dimensional diffraction fields involving curved surfaces that decomposes a given field on a two-dimensional curved surface into a sum of properly shifted and modulated Gaussian-shaped elementary signals.
Light diffraction in slab waveguide lenses simulated with the stepwise angular spectrum method.
TL;DR: The stepwise angular spectrum method (SASM) results show excellent agreement with rigorous numerical simulations of the full structures with a substantially lower computational effort and can be utilized for the simulation-based design and optimization of complex and large scale setups.

Generation of a polarized optical field from a given scalar field for wide-viewing-angle holographic displays
Onur Kulce,Levent Onural +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple polarization approach is proposed to generate a polarized optical field which has the same resultant effect as prescribed by a wide-angle scalar field, which can also be used in an optical setup where the polarization information is important.
